I am searching for a 1940 auto show picture(s) of the 1940 Packard with the new "Weather-Conditioner" air conditioner.  The picture will likely include some type of display advertising for the first time factory-installed air conditioner.  Yes, I understand that Packard shipped its cars to its sub-contractor, Bishop and Babcock in Cleveland.  Nevertheless, the "Weather-Conditioner" was factory authorized, installed, and warranted through Packard. 

 

This picture will be included in my illustrated history of U.S. factory air conditioned cars, beginning with the 1940-1942 period and continuing with the 1953 through 1960 models. 

 

With this publication, the legacy of the air conditioning literature will be utilized and recorded.

 

I appreciate your response and will ensure that your contribution will be credited in the publication.

 

Thanks,
